Why is it beneficial to supplement with magnesium:

Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps to maintain normal nerve, healthy neurological function and muscle function, supports a healthy immune system, keeps the heartbeat steady, and helps bones remain strong. It also helps adjust blood glucose levels, and aids in the production of energy and protein.

 Some people are at increased risk of magnesium deficiency, including people with digestive disorders, such as celiac disease and chronic diarrhoea; certain conditions and an unhealthy diet can cause your body to lose magnesium quicker than you can replenish it.

In addition, certain medicines (including some “water pills” and antibiotics) can lower blood magnesium levels.

Magnesium is a natural muscle relaxer, which immensely helps with anxiety. Magnesium deficiency is quite common and could cause serious health issues when not addressed.
